I have never ridden a 4 speed. I figured the spacing between gears would be wider for almost same top speed as a 6 speed. Or is it like a 6 speed tranny missing the last 2 gears, hence slower?
If the gear ratio is wider providing close to the same top speed on the 4 speed tranny then a 6 speed would be much better for trail riding with its closer splits.
